It ain't because of the economy. It's because the stuff CC sells is overpriced and can be bought for less money at Best Buy. In Meriden, CT both are within spitting distance of one another. CC is in the Chamberlain Plaza and BB is in The Meriden Square Mall. The Mall is in back of the Chamberlain Plaza. And I have it on good authority that BB in Meriden does more sales than that CC does.
